my kids have cold lunch daily cause were vegg-heads..I usually have them help the night before ..but we use tupperware and do a scoop of cottage cheese with a tomato or peaches...string cheese ..a fruit or veggie (depending on the choice w/ the cottage chz) or pb&j..and I have tupper-wares that have bagged organic snacks that I buy in bulk from Woodmans..they pick from those Its actually somthing they look forward to doing after dinner and before bedtime snack..

.Owen gets to pacck one too...he is home with me during the day but it makes lunchtime a breeze
